• Domino’s will start delivering pizzas with help Chevy Bolt electric cars this month, and in 2023 the fleet will increase to more than 800 nits.
  • Domino’s benefits include zero tailpipe emissions, lower maintenance costs and the ability to add delivery drivers who don’t own a private car.

Back in 2015, Domino’s introduced by DXPa Chevy Spark modified specifically for pizza delivery with a built-in oven. In 2017, we pitted the DXP against a pizza-carrying product, a ratty Mitsubishi Eclipse with faded flame decals and DXP won easily. But times are changing, and Domino’s is preparing for the future by announcing that it will begin using 2023 Chevy Bolt electric vehicles to deliver pizzas across the country, with more than 100 Domino’s-branded Bolts hitting stores this month.

Another 700 Bolts will arrive in the coming months, which Domino’s says will make it the largest electric pizza delivery fleet in the country, though we’re not sure how much competition there is for that title. With more than 6,000 stores in the U.S., not every location will get the Bolt, but it’s a significant step up from the 155 DXPs that were built back in 2015. It looks like the Bolt electric cars Domino’s will be using don’t have a built-in oven. from DXP, reducing cost and complexity—converting the Spark to DXP added about $9,000 to the price.

Along with eliminating tailpipe emissions, Domino’s believes the main benefits will be lower average maintenance costs and not having to shell out for expensive gasoline. Domino’s says it expects battery life to potentially last for “days of supply,” with the Bolt EV achieving an EPA-estimated range of 259 miles. Domino’s also hopes the fleet will attract more delivery drivers who don’t own their own cars, as many locations still require drivers to provide their own transportation.

The Bolt EV has a quiet and comfortable cabin — hopefully leading to happier, more relaxed drivers — and 200 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque keep the electric hatchback zipping around town, so the time between ordering a pizza and shoveling it your esophagus must be shortened. Sounds like a win-win to us.

For the most loyal Domino’s fans, the pizza company has created interactive map to track how many electric Bolt vehicles are in each state, meaning they can calculate the probability that the next pizza they order will be delivered via electric.
